Leino was called up as a precautionary measure after Dan Cleary was injured in practice Tuesday. Cleary is listed as day-to-day, and his Game 1 status will be determined after Thursday's morning skate.

So there's a chance Leino still could play in the Griffins' first-round series at Hamilton.

Leino appeared in 13 regular-season games for the Red Wings this season, and had five goals and four assists.
